Perhaps we should add a quick to see if vma is sharable. Might be as
simple as !(vma->vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE). I see a comment/question in
a later patch about only doing minor fault processing on shared mappings.

Code below looks fine, but it would be a wast to do all that for a vma
that could not be shared.
